How do we know that God's judgment and mercy are connected in the shaking?

Answered in 1 source

God's judgment upon the ungodly and His mercy toward the elect are intertwined in the shaking, as demonstrated by the consequences faced by those who reject His Word versus those who accept it.

The shaking serves a dual purpose: it is both a manifestation of God's judgment against those who dismiss His Word and a profound extension of mercy toward His elect. As illustrated in the context of Hebrews 12:26-27 and Haggai's prophecy, God's shaking reveals the deep moral and spiritual realities at play. Those who reject His gospel will face the consequences of their choice, while those whom God has chosen will be preserved through faith, ultimately culminating in their salvation. This profound truth reassures believers that while the world may seem chaotic and uncertain, God is actively working to establish His kingdom, ensuring that His people are safe and secure in His hands. Therefore, the interconnection of judgment and mercy in the shaking reaffirms God's glory and grace toward His elect.
